At UF in the \u201990\u2019s, when I want to school there, this weekend was always HUGE- UF vs FSU- a huge rivlary, the season maker {or breaker}, the game you anticipated the ENTIRE year. I know, its not the game it used to be, but there is something awesome about a state rivalry- the tailgating, the trash talking, the bets that always take place between friends {and even families}. I still remember my senior season at UF, the first national championship year {yes, I am dating myself}- it seems like just yesterday. Whenever we go back to campus to visit, I can smell the yumminess that is the Pita Pocket, I go hunting for a \u201cThe Alligator\u201d to read about the beauty that is UF football {which Mark swears is just a tad bit biased} and I wonder around University Avenue, admiring the most awesome campus and the most awesome school EVER! Ok, so Mark may disagree with that just a tad {college football is the one place Mark and I dont see eye to eye} but there is something about being back, that reminds me how fast life goes by. I remember walking onto campus as a freshman like it was yesterday- and now I look at my 7 year old, and hope that someday she will walk those same paths, and have the same awesome experience I had there.
\nYou know, if I close my eyes, I am still that wide eyed, 18 year old, leaving home and starting my own life- I haven\u2019t aged a bit! <\/p>\n

Today, I hope that you take a moment and think about the awesomeness that is LIFE- even the mundane stuff like football, or putting up Christmas lights, or cleaning up from a huge holiday meal- and as silly as it sounds, enjoy your game day\u2026<\/p>\n

Oh, internet world, here in the south, its a very sad day\u2026the last regular season game of college football. I know, I know, its the postseason games that REALLY matter- but for someone who waits all winter, spring and summer for college football kickoff, there is something heartbreaking about watching the last college game day […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sneak-peak"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puresugarstudios.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puresugarstudios.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puresugarstudios.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puresugarstudios.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puresugarstudios.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.puresugarstudios.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2240\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puresugarstudios.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puresugarstudios.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puresugarstudios.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
